The Campaign Funds Integrity Act of 2026 prohibits candidates, campaign committees, and political organizations from using campaign donations to participate in prediction markets or similar betting contracts tied to elections, legislative actions, regulatory decisions, or other political or economic events. The bill applies to any federal candidate or political committee that receives contributions under campaign finance law and affects how they can invest or use donor money. Violations would be enforced by the Federal Election Commission through existing civil penalty procedures, with knowing and willful violations subject to criminal penalties of up to five years in prison and fines. The law carves out exceptions allowing campaigns to use funds for bank deposits, mutual funds, and other low-risk investments approved by the Federal Election Commission, which must issue detailed regulations within 120 days of the bill's enactment.
